Freedom has
a lot of meanings, but the one being discussed a lot lately is Economic
Freedom.
The ability
of people being able to make several choices for their lives come from being economic
free. It sounds attractive, doesn’t it? Not anymore, because the wiliness to be
free also brings responsibilities such as being self reliant and responding for
yourself. Lots of people are choosing the “easy way” which is getting checks
from the Government.
Freedom
isn’t free, meaning that people have to work hard to achieve their dreams and
goals in life, by finding a good job or even building a small business, which
requires hard work. Successful hasn’t been seeing as an achievement anymore but
as like successful people has stolen from society, and they should pay it back
through extremely high taxes, also called “fair share”. No matter how high taxes are The Government
still running a huge debt caused by excess spending and a Gigantic Welfare State
which runs more than a hundred programs.
The very
same people who don’t believe in Freedom are putting the future of this country
in jeopardy, because as Milton Friedman once said, there’s no free lunch.

ReplyDeleteGreat point! Usually it takes a long walk to success unless you are born to a well to do family. However, independent of how success is acquired, it takes hard work to keep it. I agree with you that "people have to work hard to achieve their dreams and goals in life." That means people that succeed should be reward, right? I wish it was that simple. The problem is that depending on circumstances like race and gender, some individuals are placed in a more disadvantageous position than others. Some people for instance can work at least as much to achieve their dreams and never get even close to their goals, and that is where Welfare comes in handy ;).
